Abstract

Motivated by the considerable importance of material properties in modern condensed matter physics research, and using techniques of the NeN_{e} -electron systems in terms of the electron density nσe(r)n_{\sigma e}\left( r\right) needed to obtain the ground-state energy EeE_{e} in Density Functional Theory scenarios, we approach the Exchange-Correlation energy Exc[nσe(r)] E_{xc}\left[ n_{\sigma e}(r)\right] by considering the interelectronic position corrections Δrx,=λxδrδr\Delta r_{x}^{\uparrow \uparrow ,\uparrow \downarrow }=\lambda _{x}\left\vert \delta r^{\uparrow \uparrow }-\delta r^{\uparrow \downarrow }\right\vert and Δrceieji=λcrr(Ne1)1\Delta r_{c}^{e_{i}e_{j\neq i}}=\lambda _{c}\left\vert r-r^{\prime }\right\vert ^{-\left( N_{e}-1\right) ^{-1}} corresponding to the spin and the Coulomb correlation effects, respectively, through the electron-electron potential energy. Exploiting such corrections, we get approximate expressions for the exchange Ex[nσe]E_{x}\left[ n_{\sigma e} \right] and the correlation Ec[nσe]E_{c}\left[ n_{\sigma e}\right] functional energies which could be interpreted in terms of magnetic and electric dipole potential energies associated with the charge density nσe(r)n_{\sigma e}\left( r\right) described by inverse-square potential behaviors. Based on these arguments, we expect that such obtained Exchange-Correlation functional energy could be considered in the Local Density Approximation functional as an extension to frame such interelectronic effects.
